DUI
Crime
In
the state of Florida, it is a crime to drive with 0.08% alcohol in the blood,
urine, or breath. You have ten days to submit a written request for
administrative hearing to prevent his or her license from being suspended
(suspensions last fir at least 30 days). At this point, it is best to hire a
lawyer to request for a plea in your behalf. The lawyer will study your case to
formulate the best possible plea and negotiation, so that you would not need to
go to trial at all.
Getting
a lawyer
Again,
if you commit a DUI violation in the state of Florida, it is best to get a
Florida criminal lawyer who is experienced and knowledgeable in Florida DUI
Legislation. This is also because DUI Laws could change over time. An example of
this is the bill that Governor Bush signed on April 7, 2002 that changed many of
the DUI Laws and added several other statutes. These laws can be quite complex
and tricky but it would be a lot easier for a lawyer who specializes in these
laws to find a loophole and help you work your way out of the case, or at least
get you a good deal.
Resources
Several
resources that may help you would be the Internet where keying in "Florida
DUI Attorney" in your favorite search engine could lead you to a hundred
lawyers who specialize in drunk driving defense cases in Florida. You could also
check out online databases of lawyers, which offer a wide variety of DUI lawyers
categorized according to location.
